The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an open-world action adventure game that is controlled in the third person created by CD Project Red. The gameplay consists of action role playing elements where the player journeys through a vast world leveling up their character and his equipment in order to progress the storyline.

Deviating from the previous two games Wild Hunt now has open world environments that are so large and detailed it can be intimidating. In comparison to other open-world games such as Skyrim the open World in The Witcher 3 is 3.5 time larger, in comparison the GTA5 The Witcher 3 is 1.5 times larger.

The dialogue of the game is very intriguing as well as voiced superbly making for a very immersive experience as far as story is concerned, making the "role-playing" part of RPG a very strong part of this game. It is through the care the developers took to implement such realistic writing...

The beginning can occasionally feel like Dark Souls on the easiest difficulty while being very easy during other parts. Later on the game will be pretty much a walk in the park even on the highest difficulty.

With no dialog it can be difficult to figure out what to do and where to go. There is no hand holding here, which is a bit of a throwback to games back in the 90s, but still can be frustrating when stuck and having no idea what to do next. This can be exacerbated by the fact that certain basses ne...

The first game in the series had some issues with roll direction, the second had issues with a boring layout and forgettable bosses.

There have been some slight improvements though making for a more balanced rhythm to the game by adding new units...

Luckily this has changed in the second release as there is now a camp where a trainer will give challenges to the player that explain the game a lot more in-depth. This is great for new players as th...

Dota 2 is a very satisfying game, but only after hours upon hours are put into learning the games various in's and out's. Beginners should be warned that the game is very difficult and may not be fun for the first week or so.

For those that are fans of the Neptunia franchise, Action Unleashed should be appeal quite nicely. While not a main franchise game (this is a spin off made by a different studio), the game retains all the fan service one would want in a Neptunia game. Plenty of inside jokes and familiar references.

If the user uncaps their framerate through the DSFix ini file, there may be an issue with falling through the environment when using ladders. This is caused by the fact that the game tied the physics of the game to the framerate, which is originally intended to only be 30fps.

The game was released as a quick port with little time spent on adding a good control scheme for PC. This means the mouse and keyboard controls are pretty lacking and it is recommended to play the game with a controller.

If you are a gamer who needs a map, objective descriptions etc, you will probably find yourself completely lost and frustrated in The Surge. The game gives very few guides and instructions, you have to figure most of it out on your own.

Compared to similar games like the Dark Souls series, The Surge is a short game. Though playing the game through for a second time might be more enjoyable. You will more or less know where to go and what to do - so the game is less frustrating.
